Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi on Tuesday defended her government’s actions in Rakhine state, where about 700,000 Rohingya Muslims fled from a brutal counterinsurgency campaign to neighboring Bangladesh, FOX News reports. She said terrorism, not social discrimination or inequality, triggered the crisis. Last week, the US imposed sanctions on four Myanmar military and police commanders and two army units, accusing them of “ethnic cleansing” against Rohingya Muslims.  Today, even as sanctions mount and the US State Department and United Nations prepare reports that are likely to detail the military’s premeditated efforts at effectively ridding the state of Rohingya Muslims, generals remain defiant, writes Shibani Mahtani for The Washington Post.
